All we want for Christmas is..ADOPTIONS! ❤️

The holiday season is here, and we're bringing a little extra Christmas cheer to Kroger's Holiday Open House!

Join Daviess County TNR on Saturday, November 14th, from 12 PM – 4 PM for an afternoon of holiday fun, and maybe even meet your new best friend! 🐱

We'll be there with FREE ADOPTABLE CATS & KITTENS who are hoping to find something special under the tree this year… a forever home! 🎁

Our rescue is currently at capacity, and adoptions are desperately needed. Every adoption makes room for another cat who needs help. These little faces have so much love to give, and all they want for Christmas is a family of their own.

Come meet our adoptable kitties, enjoy the holiday festivities, and help us spread a little Christmas magic!

📍 Kroger on Starlite - Owensboro KY Holiday Open House
📅 Saturday, November 14, 2026
⏰ 12 PM – 4 PM

Let's make this Christmas a little brighter, one adoption at a time.

Sunday Scaries: Cat Overpopulation Edition🐾

The Sunday scaries hit a little differently when you're a cat rescue.

While everyone else is preparing for a new week, we're still thinking about the cats waiting for help, the kittens being born into an already overwhelmed community, and the reality that Daviess County TNR is still CLOSED TO INTAKE. We cannot rescue our way out of an overpopulation crisis. We have to prevent it.

So, how can YOU help make next week a little less scary for homeless cats?

🐾 DONATE ALUMINUM CANS – Save those cans! Our Cans for Cats fundraiser helps keep our spay and neuter efforts moving.

🐾 SHARE OUR POSTS – Can't adopt or donate? Sharing takes seconds and could put one of our cats in front of their future family.

🐾 HELP US FIND BARN HOMES – We desperately need safe, suitable barn or shop homes for non-friendly cats who aren't comfortable living indoors. These cats deserve safe places to land, too.

🐾 SPAY & NEUTER – This is the BIG one. Fix your pets, fix your outdoor cats, and stop giving away unaltered cats and kittens. Every preventable litter adds to an already overwhelming problem.

We know our community is full of people who care about animals. Now we need that compassion to turn into action.

We cannot do this alone, and we cannot keep absorbing the consequences of an overpopulation problem that requires an entire community to solve.

Let's make next Sunday's scaries a little smaller.

Spay. Neuter. Adopt. Share.

11/07/2026

This week, we helped 38 cats get spayed and neutered! Every surgery means fewer unwanted litters, fewer kittens born into homelessness, and fewer cats struggling to survive on the streets.

But here's something our community needs to understand: Spay and neuter is the only sustainable way out of the cat overpopulation crisis. We cannot rescue our way out of this problem. We cannot adopt our way out of it. We have to stop the cycle at its source.

And that means everyone has a responsibility.

If you're giving away unfixed cats and kittens, you're contributing to the very problem we're working so hard to solve. Every unaltered cat has the potential to produce more litters in a county that already has more cats than available homes. Please stop passing the problem along and start being part of the solution.

Don't forget about Cans for Cats🚮

Save those aluminum cans! Instead of throwing them away, collect them for our Cans for Cats fundraiser. Every can helps us raise money to fund more spay and neuter surgeries and keep this program moving forward.

We need more than sympathy for the cats in our community. We need action, prevention, and community involvement💜

Brad and Natalie made it safely to clinic with 23 cats ready for their spay and neuter appointments! 💜🐈‍⬛

Every cat altered is a step toward fewer unwanted litters, healthier community cat populations, and a better future for the cats of Daviess County.

Spay and neuter-That's TNR in action!

A big thank-you to Brad and Natalie for another early trip and to everyone who makes this work possible! 🐱

FERAL FRIDAY: Prevention Is the Heart of TNR!

Feral cats are often overlooked, misunderstood, and left out of conversations about animal welfare. But being feral doesn't make a cat any less deserving of care, compassion, or a chance at a healthier life. Over 20 cats will be spayed or neutered today thanks to our TNR team and the spay and neuter clinic that welcomes us every single week💜🐈‍⬛

Every cat altered means fewer unwanted litters, less competition for limited resources, fewer mating-related behaviors, and a more stable community cat population.

We cannot rescue our way out of overpopulation. We cannot keep finding homes for kittens faster than they are being born. We have to address the problem at its source.

That's why TNR matters. That's why spay and neuter matters. And that's why we keep showing up for the cats who need us, whether they're friendly, frightened, feral, or somewhere in between.

The goal isn't just to help the cats in front of us today. It's to prevent the suffering of the cats who would otherwise be born tomorrow.

That's the work. That's the mission. That's TNR.

11/05/2026

We have 15 trap kitties on the schedule to be spayed and neutered today!💜

That's 15 cats who won't contribute to another unexpected litter, 15 fewer opportunities for kittens to be born into an already overwhelmed community, and 15 steps closer to a healthier, more manageable cat population in Daviess County.

TNR isn't just about trapping cats. It's about prevention, compassion, and creating a better future for the cats who already call our streets, neighborhoods, and communities home.

15 cats. One big step toward change. 💜

Cans for Cats: Turn your empty cans into second chances💜

What if something as simple as recycling your aluminum drinking cans could help save the lives of homeless cats and kittens right here in Daviess County?🐈‍⬛

Cans for Cats is a fundraising campaign by Daviess County TNR that turns your recyclables into resources for the cats who need us most!

Every can counts, and every little bit adds up. Donations from this campaign help us continue our mission of caring for vulnerable cats and kittens while working toward a future with fewer homeless litters and healthier community cats.

From food and medical care to helping cats get the second chance they deserve, our work depends on community support. You don't have to make a huge donation to make a difference. Sometimes, making a difference starts with something you might otherwise throw away!

Help us spread the word, share this post, and remember: one person's recyclables can become another cat's lifeline♻️

Together, we can turn cans into care, recycling into rescue, and small acts of kindness into brighter futures for Daviess County's homeless cats and kittens.

Drop off locations for aluminum cans include

TNR Tuesday: Fewer Cats Born Into Homelessness. More Cats Given a Chance.

Why does TNR matter?💜

Because our county cannot adopt its way out of cat overpopulation. There are already more cats and kittens in need than there are available homes, and allowing more litters to be born only adds to a problem that is already overwhelming our community.

Every litter prevented is another litter that won't have to compete for a home, grow up without a home, or face the hardships of life on the streets.

TNR helps break that cycle. By humanely trapping, spaying or neutering, vaccinating, eartipping, and returning community cats, we can prevent future litters and give existing cats a healthier, more stable life.

We don't want more friendly cats growing up homeless. We don't want more kittens born into a county that simply doesn't have enough homes for them. And we don't want to keep fighting the same overpopulation crisis generation after generation.

TNR isn't just about managing the cats we see today. It's about preventing the thousands of cats we would otherwise see tomorrow.

Fewer litters. Fewer homeless cats. Fewer kittens struggling to survive.

That's why prevention matters. That's why TNR matters💜

Spay. Neuter. Educate.

Sundays Are for Showing Up!🌻

A little kindness can go a long way, and this Sunday, we're reminded that when our community comes together, we can make a difference for people AND their pets!

Our assistant director, Natalie, spent a busy day volunteering alongside Tatum and Just People, a mobile outreach program serving Owensboro. During their time out in the community yesterday, Natalie and Tatum noticed that the plastic bags used to distribute supplies were tearing easily. We thought there had to be a simple way to make someone's day a little more functional, so we need help collecting reusable tote bags!🫶🏻

Being out in the community is so important for us and our goal is to spay and neuter cats for those in need and connect people with resources to help their pets. As we work to make this happen, we have a couple of special needs of our own:

Spay & Neuter Sponsors💉

We'd love to find sponsors willing to help cover the cost of spaying and neutering the cats we're assisting. Each spay/neuter with vaccines cost $30 and Natalie will be working on signing up kitties soon so they have access to veterinary care. Helping families care for their pets also means preventing unwanted litters and creating healthier futures for our community cats.

Reusable Tote Bags🛍️

We're collecting reusable tote bags to help distribute supplies to community members. If you have extras you'd like to donate, we'd love to put them to good use! Donations can be brought to any of our events or dropped off at 1119 Werner Dr. 🏡

Sometimes making a difference starts with something as simple as a bag, a donation, or a little kindness. Together, we can take care of our community, one person and one paw at a time. 💜
